His blood atoned for all our race, his blood atoned for all our race, and sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds he bears, received on Calvary; they pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me. “Forgive him, O, forgive,” they cry, “Forgive him, O, forgive,” they cry, “nor let that ransomed sinner die.” 4 The Father hears him pray, his dear anointed One; he cannot turn away the presence of his Son. His Spirit answers to the blood, his Spirit answers to the blood, and tells me I am born of God. 5 My God is reconciled; his pardoning voice I hear; he owns me for His child: I can no longer fear. With confidence I now draw nigh, with confidence I now draw nigh, and, “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.
